  • A surgeon or successful mechanic can go get diagnosed anytime they want though. Right?

    Use of the word “let” in the meme implies some kind of forced intervention like a student with behavioral problems might experience. It still seems like a compliant that says, “I was successful so society let me have agency. Not cool!”

    Thanks for the cheeky explanation. Forcing drugs on kids is pretty high on my list of bad ideas. Giving a kid a label that helps them feel less weird and alone seems alight. Strategies to smooth rough edges sounds very helpful. But what sort of strategies? Do you mean things like these common ADHD accommodations?

    Preferential seating (near the teacher, away from distractions). Extended time on tests and assignments. Shortened assignments (while maintaining rigor). Instruction in note-taking or providing notes. Segmented assignments for long-term projects. Frequent feedback and check-ins. Movement breaks or opportunities for physical action (e.g., running errands, standing desk). Use of visual aids and reminders. Pairing visual and verbal instructions. Alternative methods for demonstrating knowledge (allowing them to play to their strengths).

    What’s the point of giving a student with good grades an IEP though?
